Announcements

UCS major Maddie Chasse and Prof. Birge-Liberman receive SHARE Award

Posted on by

Urban and Community  Studies is happy to announce that Professor Phil Birge-Libermand and UCS major, Maddie Chasse, have received one of this year’s 2021 SHARE Awards.

The Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts Research Experience (SHARE) Awards are provided by the Office of Undergraduate Research to introduce students to research in their chosen field and help them develop skills they will need for further research projects.

The project Prof. Birge-Liberman and Maddie proposed will examine ways of redeveloping Keney Park to fulfill, in part, the goals of the Hartford 400 plan. Numerous reports and service learning projects have been completed by many UConn classes in the effort to restore particular portions of the park. However, these were completed in an ad-hoc manner and there has been no effort to organize or prioritize these plans. This project is an attempt to make sense of these documents and assess the feasibility of implementing these plans.

Congrats to Phil and Maddie!

Best, Ken Foote

Posted on by

Below is the UCS Fall 2020 course schedule. Please remember that course information may periodically change. We will update the schedule on the website and/or send out emails or weekly newsletter announcements when significant changes occur. If you have not already made an appointment to meet with your UCS advisor, please do so as soon as possible since some classes may will limited seats.

 

Please note. we have added a new course offering on the Hartford campus URBN 3998 – Human Services in Policing. This course provides critical examination of the study of crime, policing and justice in urban settings. Course materials examine contemporary policing-related issues that affect urban communities within a historical and sociological context. The course provides a deeper dive into the intersections of deviant behavior, oppression and the criminal justice system within the structures of class, race, gender, structural and institutional racism with law enforcement bodies, and power inequalities. Moving beyond issues within the current law enforcement structure, the helping and human services aspect of policing will be covered. Topics explored may include racial profiling, juvenile delinquency, media representations of crime and perpetrators, policing and implicit bias, the war on drugs and the impact to marginalized communities, sentencing and bias, and prisoner re-entry.

(New) Hartford – Wednesdays, 4:00pm to 6:30pm.

This course is also available in Storrs on Tuesday’s from 3:35pm to 6:05pm.
